Guava is rich in antioxidants

This afternoon I got fruit from my co-workers, which is a very refreshing fruit, namely red guava which is ready to eat. The color is yellow and the content is red. Fragrant guava is also very fragrant. When I got home, I made juice and drank it right away. With very hot weather drinking a glass of guava juice is very refreshing.

Did you know that red guava contains a lot of vitamins and is good for health, especially when you have a fever or after a dengue fever. And guava is highly recommended. One of the vitamins contained in guava is vitamin C and everyone knows that vitamin C is useful as an antioxidant.

Antioxidants are molecules that can slow or prevent the oxidation of other molecules. Antioxidants are compounds whose job is to neutralize free radicals and inhibit oxidation so that the body is protected from various kinds of degenerative diseases and cancer. Examples of natural antioxidants include vitamins C and vitamin E.

Antioxidant function

Antioxidants play an important role in protecting the body from the effects of free radicals which can cause various diseases. The body will naturally produce free radicals as waste substances from metabolism. You may not think that enzymes are included in the class of antioxidants

Lack of antioxidants, one of which can cause premature aging, easy to get sick, body condition begins to weaken. Not only that, a lack of antioxidants can raise the risk of dangerous diseases such as cancer and heart attacks.

Mangoes contain lots of fruit that contain vitamin C, papaya apples also contain a lot of vitamin C and guava has a lot of vitamin C too. Not difficult to find guava, especially in Indonesia. Guava is known for its high vitamin C content. In fact, it is one of the highest compared to other fruits.

In 100 g of guava fruit contains 228 mg of vitamin C. High vitamin C helps maintain the immune system, which can help prevent us from contracting infectious diseases caused by bacteria.

The same goes for its antioxidant content. Not surprisingly, this one fruit is often used to prevent cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer.

Sufficient for our bodies with enough vitamins, one of which is vitamin C and guava, I recommend that we consume it every day
